Your Galaxy Note II arrives preconfigured to appeal to most buyers; however, you might want to change the way some of the features work, or even personalize it to fit your mood or lifestyle. Luckily your Galaxy Note II is customizable.

Changing Your Wallpaper

Your Galaxy Note II comes preloaded with a cool wallpaper. You can install other wallpapers, use live wallpapers that animate, and even use pictures in the Gallery application as your wallpaper.

Live Wallpaper

Live wallpaper is wallpaper with some intelligence behind it. It can be a cool animation or even an animation that keys off things such as the music you are playing on your Galaxy Note II, or it can be something simple such as the time. There are some very cool live wallpapers in Google Play that you can install and use.

Touch the live wallpaper you want to use. This example uses the Star Trek: Red Alert live wallpaper.

You can find wallpaper or live wallpaper in Google Play. Open Google Play and search for “wallpaper” or “live wallpaper.” Read more on how to use Google Play in Chapter 11, “Working with Android Apps.”
